I sometimes copy paste things into the browser URL bar to strip formatting

Does that mean that you leak it out over DNS / Google search for autocomplete?

[tablespoon]

Me too. Copy-pasting with formatting is almost always what I don't want.

It's even more of a disaster on a Mac, because the handling is MS Office is much worse than on Windows, and Outlook has about three total settings on its preference screen, so there's no way (I can tell) to change the default behavior.

If you're willing to try a menubar app: https://apps.apple.com/app/id1611378436

Why not just use ctrl-alt-v to paste without formatting? Or right-click and select "paste special", then select "plain text"?
